1. Jeff Skinner, Goal Scoring King
Last time out, Jeff Skinner put up a career-high four goals against the Montreal Canadiens.
Skinner’s regular season total pushed to 20 goals, marking the eighth time in his career that he has surpassed that season goal total.
Skinner continues to thrive in Don Granato’s system, which is impressive considering how much of struggle Skinner had fitting in under former head coach Ralph Krueger.
